How can I reduce the delay time between dialing a number and receipt of the busy signal or ring?

Using POTS, it only takes a couple seconds after dialing a number before I get a ring or a busy signal. The Vonage delay is at least 4 seconds longer.

This may sound trivial, but, it makes a huge difference when I am using 2 lines to speed dial trying to get through to make tee time reservations, get concert tickets, win radio contests etc.

If I can only make about 5 calls per minute with Vonage instead of the 8 or 9 calls using POTS, my chances of getting through are cut nearly in half.

All those other features are nice and l love new technology. However, this drawback is a deal killer for me. I will have to cancel Vonage and go back to POTS unless I can speed up the dial and redial and redial process.

Funny enough that # doesn't work with the new firmware version in the MTAVT1000. Dialing 7 digits or 10 for that matter followed by the # results in immediate fast busy. They are aware and will probably have this fixed in another firmware release.
